Help Wanted for Heli MSFS2024 setup

Postby HamishM » Sun Mar 15, 2026 11:48 am

Hi all, I'm new here.
I'm about 10 hours in to my heli PPL. A mate lent me his gaming rig to help me get through a bit of a training 'hump' and suggested it would help building my skills particularly flying in the pattern out at Ardmore.

I'm looking to see if I can find anyone who knows how to best calibrate my sim rig as close as possible to real-world helicopter flying. (Cabri G2)

I’ve got a very capable PC with the right graphics card, plenty of grunt etc.
I have a full set of Virpil controls – pedals, collective, cyclic.
A Pimax Crystal VR headset.
I've got both MSFS 2020 and 2024

I think all the gear is good, I just need someone to help me with the right bindings / settings to get it setup. – Ideally someone who knows helicopters. I’m really happy to pay $$ for this service.

Waimauku based – about 45mins NW of Auckland.

Anyone out there that might be open to this?

We don't have a massive helo membership but you never know who will come out in the wash when they see your question :D

@chopper_nut may be able to help, not sure what type of rig he's running tho

Only place I can think of is https://www.helisimmer.com/

Back in the day there was a site HoverControl which was the go-to for this, not sure what the replacement is, check this post out there re it's closure...

Hard to gauge your understanding of the sim from the above.
If it's just getting the hardware to talk to FS2020 (which I use) I might be able to help.
Drop me a PM and we can look at sorting you out.
